Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the cellular and molecular processes underlying the origin and progression of brain tumors, as well as the mechanisms of resistance to treatment and metastasis, is crucial for the development of better diagnostic tools and molecularly targeted innovative therapies. Despite important advances made in brain tumor biology over recent years, prognosis remains dismal, and survivors suffer from long-term sequelae of cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical interventions. In this Special Issue of Brain Sciences, the current state of knowledge on the biological basis of brain tumor types including gliomas, medulloblastoma, and ependymomas will be addressed, and the potential applications of this knowledge for the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies will be presented.
Dr. Rafael Roesler

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
